Each day, the Times-Union will visit with fans who will be making the trip London for Sunday’s Jaguars game.

VLAD ADUNTS

How long have you been attending Jaguars games?

“I have been a Jaguars season-ticket holder for seven years, but have been going to games for about 10 years. My season tickets are in section 138, row S, seats 17 and 18.”

Who’s your favorite Jaguars player?

“Paul Posluszny, hands down.”

How many people are in your traveling party?

“I’m traveling alone — I had no luck in getting somebody to go with me. But my father, Sergo Adunts, lives in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and he is flying to London to spend a couple days with me before the game.”

Are you disappointed the Jaguars are giving up a home game to play in London?

“I’m not disappointed at all. I think it’s great that Jacksonville is being exposed to the international market. I think it’s great for our city, and it’s a great experience for fans who get to make it out to London.”

In addition to the game, what other plans do you have for this week?

“I’m going to spend some time with my dad and see the city and all the historical places. On Friday, the NFL is doing a boat party, and I will be there for that. I also heard that London has some great casinos, so I will for sure check those out. Saturday, I will attend the NFL Fan Festival that is open to the public. And then on Sunday, get ready for the game and hopefully get ready for a win. Win or lose, I am going to show my team support and enjoy the city of London.”

RYAN O'HALLORAN'S POSTCARD

LONDON -- The stadium that is home to Shad Khan’s Jaguars can be seen from several directions — the Main Street bridge, Interstate 95, the Hart Bridge and when it isn’t broken, the Mathews Bridge.

EverBank Field is surrounded by parking lots, major roads and a baseball stadium. The atmosphere is nondescript.

The venue that houses Khan’s Fulham Football Club has the opposite feel.

Craven Cottage opened in 1896 and the knee-jerk reaction when I visited Wednesday morning was that some of the original bleachers remained.

But like the great, old ballparks in the United States (Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston), Craven Cottage has an unmistakable charm

The stadium seats more than 25,000 fans and is tucked into its West London neighborhood.

Traffic is occasionally one lane because cars are parked on both sides of the road and a security official told me that streets around the Cottage are closed on match days to allow for foot traffic from the close-by Parsons Green and Putney Bridge train stops.

Khan hopes to expand the stadium’s capacity, which will in turn create more revenue to pursue talent.

But he also knows what the locals confirm: Craven Cottage is Fulham FC and should remain that way.

BAGSHOT, ENGLAND | The emotional pain Jaguars coach Gus Bradley has endured over the last few days was evident.

Bradley spoke about the death of his father, Roy Bradley, after he rejoined the Jaguars on Wednesday at Pennyhill Park. Roy died Sunday around 9:20 p.m. in Zumbrota, Minn. He was 85.

Bradley struggled with the decision on whether to leave the team to be with his family. Jaguars owner Shad Khan and general manager Dave Caldwell took the dilemma out of his hands. Bradley left for Zumbrota on Monday and did not fly to London with the Jaguars.

“When I found out the news, my heart was torn,” Bradley said. “I think that we’ve said it before, ‘Murphy [adversity] hit on Sunday night.’ I think where my heart was torn is, I know I have an obligation to our organization to be the leader. My heart was torn, because I know I have an obligation to be the leader of our family as well.”

Bradley thanked the Jaguars for the kindness he and his family received. He called the support “off the charts.” Bradley also praised his coaching staff, including defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker, who served as interim coach.

“We went back and forth,” Bradley said. “That’s where I give credit to Dave and Shad, because they said there is no discussion on what we have to do here. Shad made his plane available. My sister and I flew back together and arrived in Rochester about 10-15 minutes away from my home. We went right to see my mom, went to the funeral home, had long late-night conversations and then I got on a plane in Minneapolis and flew last night.”

Bradley was greeted with cheers from his players when he walked out on the practice field at 2 p.m. local time. He only missed the first hour of the team’s opening practice of the week. The Jaguars (0-7) face San Francisco (5-2) Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

“It felt really good for me to be back,” Bradley said. “I think when you’re in situations like this, it’s good to be around people you care about. I was fortunate to be around people I care about on Monday and to be back here around people that I know I care deeply about. It feels really good and I think it’s the next step in this whole process.”

Bradley didn’t allow his return to become a distraction during practice. Within seconds, the Jaguars were back to drills.

“We want to make sure that he knows that we’re going to give everything that we can for him,” Jaguars middle linebacker Paul Posluszny said. “We’re going to play to the best of our abilities, because that’s what he’s given us — his best every day, day after day. We just want to show our appreciation for that in return.”

Jaguars defensive coordinator Bob Babich didn’t talk to Bradley much during the practice, but could see his trademark energy was high. That energy is what the players are excited to have back.
